Though I still have to get my mitts on Aquavert Eyeshadow and Cakeshop Shadestick, I couldnâ€™t wait to do a Sugarsweet face of the day.

I did a shimmery green and gray eye, peach cheek and coral lip with Club Eyeshadow and Lollipop Loving Lipstick — two colors from Sugarsweet which I already had in my MAC stash.

Since I’m still waiting to adopt Aquavert, I substituted it with MAC Warm Chill, a shimmery green eyeshadow from last summer’s Cool Heat collection. I patted Warm Chill on the lid, swept Club in the crease and then lined my eyes with MAC Eye Pencil in Coffee. For the lips I layered MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner in Gentle Coral beneath Lollipop Loving Lipstick (ooh girl, this combo is the shizz!). To finish the look I swept MAC Beauty Powder Blush in Eversun, a shimmery peach, on my cheeks.

I’m crushing hard on the Gentle Coral and Lollipop Loving combo. You should totally try it!

Anyhoo, how’s your Thursday been so far? It’s really warm and sunny outside right now, and I all wanna do is run around chasing butterflies like a hooligan, LOL! I think I have a bad case of spring fever…

Karen you look gorgeous here as always and I totally agree with you about the lip combo :). I think I might just have to try it! As a broke college student, I don’t really allow myself to indulge in all these yummy new collections as much as I want to but I really am thinking I need to check this one out, its too pretty to pass up. And btw I never leave comments but I absolutely adore you and your blog to pieces, and read it religiously. Keep it comin’

What did you not like about the collection? The pastels? I was kinda freaked out about them. Thank goodness the release has a few more neutral shades like Club and Penny Shadestick, which I think make the colors more wearable.

Hey gir! Don’t worry, soon you’ll be done with school, and once you’re in the working world it gets easier to feed the MAC habit. Until then, I think that it’s nice to still indulge every once in a while, and you won’t regret this lip combo! The Tinted Lip Conditioner jar is HUGE, plus, you can wear it by itself in the summer. Oh, and it has SPF, too!

Also, Lollipop Loving is so unique… it flashes from coral to green (but in a totally good way). I hope you try it!

Ohemgee Karen that looks so pretty!
I need some new products and I’m definantly looking into this collection.
Btw, have you tried Lancome Definciles(I totally cannot spell that word) mascara? Total love. I got some in a gift and finally opened it today. Its almost as good on me as Diorshow.

Karen, I finally found my crease!! My eye crease, that is. I watched your video “Where’s Your Crease?” when you posted it, but just tried it out earlier this week — it makes such a difference now when I emphasize my barely visible crease with eyeshadow :). (I always thought the eye crease was the same thing as the eyelid crease.) Next challenge: mastering the smoky eye…

Love love this look karen! you look gorgeous! I got such a stash of new makeup today! Aquavert and cakeshop! Picked up the heather too! Swung by and snatched a plantlove liner in black of course! Thanks for your amazin job on this blog, i love it so much. You’re so fabulous girl!

yeea. that was exactly it. when i saw the collection i was like REALLY?? its too pastel and im not feeling the pink and pasty green eyeshadow… so the only thing i bought was the peppermint patty nail polish! love that green on nails but not on the eyes. atleast not for me
like i said, as much as i didnt really like this collection. YOU made it work!

Karen, you look the vision of Spring!
I was at MAC today, as you got me all hot and bothered for this collection. I got Aquavert and Cakeshop, omg-so good!!
Lollipop Loving made me look like the walking dead, I was so sad (it looks amazing on you!)
BUT…they had one Hello Kitty in Popster left! So I ahd to get that and an Electric Eel e/s too to make up for my sadness.
I think Sweet Thing l/s is in the cards too…

Karen,
To me, Electric Eel is totally hot. BRIGHT blue and a perfect shade, not too baby, navy or frosty. And as a liner? Forget it, too beautiful! I couldn’t resist…
I think you need it very soon. Today if possible!
